A discussion of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus must start with a review
of mechanisms involved in the maintenance of normal glucose homeostasis in the basal
or postabsorptive state (10–12 h overnight fast) and following ingestion of a typical
mixed meal [

]. In the postabsorptive state the majority of total body glucose disposal takes place
in insulin-independent tissues. Thus, approximately 50% of all glucose use occurs
in the brain, which is insulin-independent and becomes saturated at a plasma glucose
concentration of approximately 40 mg/dL [
[10]
]. Another 25% of glucose disposal occurs in the splanchnic area (liver plus gastrointestinal
tissues), which is also insulin-independent. The remaining 25% of glucose use in the
postabsorptive state takes place in insulin-dependent tissues, primarily muscle, and
to a lesser extent adipose tissue. Basal glucose use, approximately 2.0 mg/kg/min,
is precisely matched by the rate of endogenous glucose production (Fig. 1). Approximately 85% of endogenous glucose production is derived from the liver, and
the remaining 15% is produced by the kidney. Glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis contribute
equally to the basal rate of hepatic glucose production.
